1/4 cup melted butter
Red Velvet Cake Layer:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Red food coloring
Cheesecake Layer:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping:
Whipped cream
Cherry sauce or cherry preserves
Extra Oreos for garnish
Instructions
Make the Oreo Crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter until combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
Prepare the Red Velvet Cake Layer:
In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, oil, egg, vinegar, vanilla, and enough red food coloring to reach a vibrant color.
Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
Pour the batter over the cooled Oreo crust and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely.
Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla until well combined.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled red velvet layer.
Bake the Cheesecake:
Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish. Pour hot water into the larger dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan (water bath).
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Decorate and Serve:
Top the chilled cheesecake with whipped cream, cherry sauce, and garnish with an Oreo and extra crumbs.
Slice and enjoy!
This recipe combines a rich red velvet cake layer with a creamy cheesecake, topped with whipped cream, cherry sauce, and an Oreo garnish for that extra touch. Enjoy!
